The Night of the Hunter (1955)

We’re pairing some noir classic discussions with our Michael Mann May theme and we’re in store for some Robert Mitchum bangers up in this piece. Today we hit up a classic that is actor and stage producer Charles Laughton’s only feature film and it got so panned that he never directed another movie again. They didn’t know what they were talking about in 1955 because “The Night of the Hunter” starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters & Lillian Gish is a beautiful and disturbing piece of work. Also, this movie saved our souls. We’re deeply religious now. The Reverend Harry Powell might seem like evil incarnate, but he’s a believer, so you know he’s up there in Heaven slurping up all that milk and honey. Praise be.
